Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Effect of Early Weaning on Performance, Health Parameters, and Carcass Traits of Bonsmara Bull Calves Under Feedlot ConditionsKgotso Patrick Matli, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Pieter FourieA feedlot is an intensive farming system used for finishing livestock. This study analyzed the performance, health, and carcass traits of Early-Weaned Calves (EWC) and Traditionally-Weaned Calves (TWC). A total of 285 Bonsmara bull calves were grouped into two weaning strategies, with 136 EWC (255±27.30 kg) and 149 TWC (308±24.60 kg). Backgrounding was followed by a finishing phase, with a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 14 Aug 2026 · 1,239 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessAll words, across the recordRumen Microbiota Mysteries: Nutrition, Function, and its Impact on Livestock ProductivityHamdi Mayulu, Marry ChristiyantoRuminants are important herbivores in the global food system, serving as primary producers of meat and milk. The productivity of these animals is influenced by the functionality of their digestive organs, namely rumen. The digestion, metabolism and nutrients absorption in the rumen epithelium enhance the host defende mechanisms mechanisms, promoting health and productivity in ruminants. Therefore, this review aimed to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2025 · 4,073 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEstimation of Adaptability and Stability of Nellore Sires, based on the Productive Progeny Performance Raised in Brazilian SavannaJúlio César De Souza, Fabio Fábio Rafael Leão Fialho, Carolina Fregonesi De Souza et al.The study investigates the performance and adaptability of Nellore sires across different regions, focusing on weight traits at 205 days (W205) and 550 days (W550). Analysis reveals significant variations in progeny weight means among evaluated sires, highlighting the importance of sire selection for herd improvement. Notably, certain sires consistently exhibit superior weight traits across diverse environmental conditions, indicating their potential … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 2 Jul 2024 · 5,532 accessesView PDF Cite
